PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) Pre-Order Xbox One $34 @ JB Hi-Fi in-Store

170

The preorder's have been announced for PUBG today, and the game is going to game preview 12/12. The RRP in Australia is $39.95 according to Microsoft Store and EB Games

It's actually a code for the digital game in which I'm assuming is a physical game case. It should be $34 when you preorder in store at JB. Otherwise delivery is $3.50. If anything I said is wrong, please correct me.

  • Hmm, I wonder if I'll miss Fortnite BR.

    • I can safely say that you will not.

    • Not after the latest update.

      • How so?

        • ? They've started adding progression, daily challenges and rewards.

        • @Baebs: Oh, you’re saying I will miss it. I thought you meant I won’t since you wrote “not after the latest update”.

        • @Stix: what? I'm saying you won't miss it (I'm talking about the fortnite update)

          @Baebs: I'm so confused. :) Are you saying progression, daily challenges and rewards are bad things and therefore I won't miss Fortnite if I switch to PUBG?

  • Is pick up in store available?

    Love this game even though it is glitchy af!

    Just a fair warning, wait until the game is actually out.
    Barely runs decently on mid-high end PC rigs and is still super buggy.

    • Yep I can vouch.

      Highly demanding game on your hardware…

    • My thoughts exactly, I can already hear people crying about how broken it will be on Day 1 release.

  • the game is going to release 12/12

    Isn't it going whatever the equivalent of Steam Early Access is on Xbox … ?

    • Yeah sorry, I meant game preview, but it is going to release on steam same date. Changed post.

  • PUBG runs fine on my PC. I would imagine console would be better optimized due to the hardware being all the some.

      GTX 1060 is enough for 1920x1080 60 FPS …

      • +3

        Mileage may vary, game has frame drops even if it runs 60fps 90% of the time, some towns are so poorly optimised you'll lose a lot of frames, and high end PC support is lack luster i.e. trying to run the game stable 1440p @ 144hz on highest with a GTX 1080 is hopeless even when the game looks like arse compared to other titles.

    Even though the game is somewhat buggy and the occasional hacker ruins a match, it's still one of the most fun games I've played with friends in a while! It's nice to just quickly jump on for a match or two then back real life haha

  • Is this going to be a physical release?

    • +20

      If you buy it dinner first.

    • It'll be a Code in a Box - as in a slip of paper (with the code printed) packaged in a regular Xbox One case.

      So, yes but not on disc.

      • Well, never mind my comment about getting it then.

    Does that mean XB1 players will be playing against PC players? I am totally not good at shooting with a controller, might be tough to beat those using mouses. :|

    • +5

      I was going to say, if console players aren't kept away from PC players it will be a total shitshow.

    • There was some discussion floating around about how the usual console auto-aim kind of thing might actually put PC gamers at a disadvantage… would be even bigger uproar I'd say.

  • Winner winner!

    • Chicken Dinner!

  • Shit.

    I'm not gonna lie, I have no real interest in this game, but at this price I might actually jump in. Figured it was gonna go for a full price with the retail version.

  • Any word on a PS4 release?

  • +1

    I wish they would do something about the cheating. Look at this, don't even need a program for it

    • One of the reasons I'm a console gamer. :)

      • I can see why developers are favouring consoles, standard hardware setups and less rubbish to deal with in the 'bug' front.

    avoid like the plague unless you like toxic 12 year olds
